Dame Helen Mirren has to be one of my ALL TIME fav celebs. She is classy, brassy and a lil’ bit sassy, which is why EVERYONE loves her so much!
So when Helen revealed that she had to chase a DANG BEAR out of her garden recently, everyone was SO SCARED for her!
RELATED STORIES
She is truly a hero in every sense of the word.
Helen Mirren is truly THAT bish. How can someone be so talented and refined and also SO funny and iconic?!
I know, right? I wish I could be her, too.
At 74-years-old, Helen is the epitome of an ageless queen and for that, we must stan.
When she’s not winning awards for her legendary movie roles, Helen is hanging out with fellow Hollywood elites.
Remember when she presented with Jason Momoa at the 2019 Oscars and nearly lost her dang mind about it?!
SAME HELEN, SAME!
When she’s not snapping selfies with hunks, she’s enjoying the outdoors. We stan a nature queen!
Okay well, she’s not so much enjoying the outdoors as much as she’s enjoying fries on some steps that are near a window to the outdoors, but whatever.
Same thing.
Well, if you can believe it, Mrs. Mirren is actually much more of an outdoorsy queen than we EVER thought!
While chatting with Mark Marron on his podcast, the dame revealed she recently chased a BEAR out of her GARDEN!
Explaining the ordeal, she said, “We’re in Tahoe, actually. Brilliantly, and luckily, we just finished building a house here. We had just made the move from LA, literally six months before the lockdown happened.”
“So – oh my God – we got locked down in the most beautiful, one of the most beautiful, places.”
“We’re not right on the lake but I can see it from here. It’s really pretty.. Incredible air, and just endless entertainment by wildlife. Chipmunks, and golden-mantles, and squirrels and about ten different kinds of birds. I saw a bear the other day!”
“A great big black bear came by and stole all my bird food. I went out and I said: ‘Bad bear! Bad, naughty bear! Very naughty bear!” she explained.
Thankfully, Helen had been reading a pamphlet about encountering wildlife.
“They were saying what to do if you encounter a bear – [if] it’s looking aggressively at you and hunching its back and looking like it’s about to charge. They said you make yourself look as big as possible, if you can grab a stick, make yourself look big. And then it literally said: ‘And then shout: Bad bear! Bad bear!'”
WOW! Dame Helen never ceases to amaze me!
